Brad's

Bucking collegiate drinking stereotypes, the unofficially NYU-affiliated Brad's serves up tasteful brews and not a drop of PBR. Don't let the boho cafeteria or the young crowd fool you: IPAs, pilsners, and other hopped-out specialties are on the menu, including Flying Dog's Raging Bitch, an essential. The place's motto, "Peace, Love, and Toasted Subs," applies during the day, whereas at night, the focus shifts to pizza--two meal categories that fit in perfectly with the beer drinker's diet.
